What is Tability?

Tability is turning its OKR tracker into an AI-operated workspace, one agentic step at a time.

Tability is an OKR and goal-tracking platform that has spent its recent releases bolting agentic AI onto its core. AI Mode has moved from contextual prompts to taking real actions—creating outcomes, plans, and check-ins—and now returns structured artifacts directly in chat. In parallel, the team keeps filling in workspace fundamentals: new outcome types (Rollups and Milestones), curated dashboard widgets, list filtering, and bulk admin controls.

What is Planka?

PLANKA's visible feed is its Helm chart, tracking deploy packaging not features

The entries surfaced for PLANKA are all Helm chart releases (2.0.1 through 2.1.0), which package the kanban app and its dependencies for Kubernetes. The changelog content is chart boilerplate, so product feature changes are not visible here, only the deployment artifact's versioning.

Tability vs Planka: editorial side-by-side

T6.3

Tability is turning its OKR tracker into an AI-operated workspace, one agentic step at a time.

◆ Current state

Tability is an OKR and goal-tracking platform that has spent its recent releases bolting agentic AI onto its core. AI Mode has moved from contextual prompts to taking real actions—creating outcomes, plans, and check-ins—and now returns structured artifacts directly in chat. In parallel, the team keeps filling in workspace fundamentals: new outcome types (Rollups and Milestones), curated dashboard widgets, list filtering, and bulk admin controls.

◆ Where it's heading

The direction points toward Tability as an AI-operated planning surface, where users describe goals in natural language and the system assembles plans, dashboards, and reviews. The June 4 batch runs two parallel tracks: deepening AI Mode with artifact output while hardening the manual workflows it sits on—filtering, selected-item widgets, and bulk actions. The recurring fix-and-improve roundups suggest the team is paying down rough edges as those features mature.

◆ Prediction

Expect AI Mode's artifact output to expand into more dashboard and report generation, with continued admin tooling for larger workspaces. The most likely next move is tighter coupling between AI Mode and the new selected-item widgets—AI assembling curated dashboard views on request.

P0.0

PLANKA's visible feed is its Helm chart, tracking deploy packaging not features

◆ Current state

The entries surfaced for PLANKA are all Helm chart releases (2.0.1 through 2.1.0), which package the kanban app and its dependencies for Kubernetes. The changelog content is chart boilerplate, so product feature changes are not visible here, only the deployment artifact's versioning.

◆ Where it's heading

The chart is progressing on its own semver, with 2.0.x patches leading into a 2.1.0 minor, implying steady deploy-tooling maintenance alongside whatever the core app ships. Forward product direction is not observable from these packaging entries.

◆ Prediction

Expect continued Helm chart releases tracking PLANKA's application versions; feature direction would need the app's own changelog to assess.
